First Resistance 3 Artwork Revealed

Share.

Post-apocalyptic cities, angry Chimera, and an all-new character.

By Colin Moriarty

Why is the Internet such a splendid place? Because the unexpected happens nearly everyday. Today, purported Resistance 3 artwork leaked on Flickr Account belonging to a user named 1337guyzorz2. Eighteen fresh, crisp pieces of art paint the very first pictures of Resistance 3's characters, landscapes and events.

As usual, the Chimera look exceptionally angry.

There are a lot of tantalizing details in the images that Resistance 3 nerds will no doubt pour over endlessly. For instance, there are two landscape scenes that clearly show a dilapidated St. Louis (as alluded to in Resistance 3's live-action trailer), while a destroyed New York City is shown in another piece of artwork, with the skeleton of the Statue of Liberty shown standing. This, of course, verified information we already garnered from Resistance 3's logo, that at least part of the game will take place in The Big Apple.

Is this our new hero?

Several pieces of the art show a military man, thin in stature, wielding weapons against the Chimeran threat. There's also a shot of a blond female speaking to this same man. Who are these characters, and what role will they play in Resistance 3? Only time will tell.

St. Louis. Well, what's left of it, anyway.

And of course, no Resistance game would be complete without Chimera, and the leaked imagery is rife with them. Aerial craft and land units alike are shown-off, fighting humanity in all sorts of violent scenes.

We've reached out to both Sony and Insomniac for comment. We will update this story when we have more details straight from the source. In the meantime, consult this story's image gallery to see all eighteen pieces of art, and see for yourself why this is a game that will no doubt turn into one of PlayStation 3's most-anticipated upcoming exclusives.

Update: A representative from Insomniac Games has returned IGN's inquiry with a "no comment."
